Short hops and hard knocks with Red Sox beat writer Ian Browne.

Emptying the (e-) mail

With Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Dan Wheeler and Bobby Jenks (his deal is close to becoming official) now in the fold, I’m sure your outlook has changed quite a bit on the 2011 Red Sox since the last time I answered e-mails.

Here is your last chance to submit questions before the holiday break, so fire away with e-mails to redsoxinbox@yahoo.com, and I’ll get as many of them answered as I can over the next day or so. Look for this to be posted on redsox.com by Wednesday.

In the meantime, have a great holiday season. Thanks for your participation in the blog all year.

Do you think the Sox will trade Papelbon now, perhaps for a proven major league shortstop? (Hanley Ramirez or Michael Young) I for one would hate too see him go, but if he’s gonna walk after the 2011 season why not get something for him besides draft picks?
